Dodge City [Mass Market Paperback]

Matt Braun (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2, 2006

The cattle trail from Texas to Kansas was long, hot and dangerous. And by the time cowboys got there, they had the money and means to make a boomtown explode--and make Dodge City a great place to be a defense attorney…as long as you weren't looking for an innocent man.

Harry Gryden believes in the kind of justice that only happens in a courtroom. In Dodge, it's his job to make sure that the accused get their fair trial. But Harry is a little too good at what he does. And with the Masterson brothers, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday laying down their own brand of law, being a courtroom legend is turning Harry into the rarest of Dodge City men: one who doesn't carry a gun, but is in a fight for his life…
